(2) whether she is aware that there is a school, housed at Einon Chapel, Cardiff, where artificial lighting has to be in use in the classrooms throughout the schoolday and where the seats provided for the children are long benches without back supports; and whether, in view of the danger to the health of the children, she will take immediate steps to remedy the position.
§ Mr. HardmanThe halls at Ainon Chapel and Swansea Street were rented by the Cardiff local education authority as temporary school premises when the246W Moorland Road School was partially demolished by enemy action. The authority have made some improvements but they are aware that these halls are not satisfactory, and they are making plans to restore part of the original school buildings. At Ainon Chapel more suitable equipment has now been provided; and there is heating at Swansea Street.
